I wanted to test latest version of jetpack compose 1.3.0-alpha02 (Changelog). So I created a new project and updated the version to 1.3.0-alpha02

But when running it, I get this error like something's not found:

Execution failed for task ':app:compileDebugKotlin'.
> Could not resolve all files for configuration ':app:kotlin-extension'.
   > Could not find androidx.compose.compiler:compiler:1.3.0-alpha02.
     Searched in the following locations:
       - https://dl.google.com/dl/android/maven2/androidx/compose/compiler/compiler/1.3.0-alpha02/compiler-1.3.0-alpha02.pom
       - https://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2/androidx/compose/compiler/compiler/1.3.0-alpha02/compiler-1.3.0-alpha02.pom
     Required by:
         project :app

What is the reason? I did nothing special. Just updated the version

There's something you missed to look at

Although when you create a Template compose project using Android studio, it assumes that both compose libs and compose-compiler are the same version, but for 1.3.0-alpha01 it's different

From Release note: release note screenshot

You should see that compose-compiler version is 1.3.0-rc02

So go and update it:

// app/build.gradle
composeOptions {
    // kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion compose_version // Change this
    kotlinCompilerExtensionVersion "1.3.0-rc02" // to this
}

And then retry syncing

TL; DR

Generally, the version of Compose libraries might be different than compose-compiler, so when adding them, make sure you add the proper version.
